even, when . wants it enough,
get himself a bathroom.
And It turns out that hen Is
right. , The houses are all part
ed, and . painted f with exceptlo- al
attractiveness, each man to his
taste, with sqme regard for the
whole effect. -. . . ; . -
Papa bnys some electric fix

house better because it repre
sents some of his own labor. v
;, r- ' - -';
When it comes to paying for
the house Mr. Hoess is highly
unorthodox. He charges per
cent interest on the Investment
but a real f per cent, not a
gyp S per cent:
It Is adjusted month by month,
with every payment on amortlsa
Uoa. . Mr., Hoess would like his cus
tomers to be able to put down
a couple of hundred dollars as
a first payment, hut he has sold
plenty of hojbsea to men wi.o
didn't have a cent for a first
payment.
H reckons that the buyer
would normally spend about a
quarter of his Income tor rent,
so he figures interest, taxes and
amortization on this basis.
But Mr. Hoess doesn't believe
that a man can - by paying for a
house if he hasn't anr Income .'
tha; he can pay as much if he
is working halt time as If he la
working full.
So it the buyer's wages are
reduced Mr. Hoess automatically
reduces the charges on the house
in; exact proportion.- And if he
baa no Income at all Mr. Hoess
suspends all payments on the
house.
Craxy? Not at all, argues Mr.
Hoess. Good business. -Turnover
is death in the real estate usl
ness. People who know the
house belongs to them 10 mat
ter what happens take excellent
care of It "My money might
as well be sitting In those houses
as in a bank," says this queer
capitalist (I " have known him

confinement, I -"A worker an't

this year and Is expected to con,
tinue throughout the summer, to 1
the benefit of local labor, Ralph
M Coleman, district manager for
the Oregon state employment
service, reported yesterday. . ; ,
.. "Relatively few out of - state
fruit pickers lave appeared this
year, as compared with the last '
two or three years." Coleman said.
"Far fewer than last year-are re
ported In California and the per.
centage fs even smaller In. Oregon,
t think one reason - is that erop
prospects are fairly good In other
